does anybody know this product named: Sude Sea Salt

[Enmascarado]

I can't understand indications:
"Put the solid materials in the big packet into 200 liters of dechlorinated tap water (if possible use desalination water). Stir it until the solid materials are completely dissolved. Then dissolve the contents of the small packet in the solution."

I have a 210 liters tank but i want to convert it into brackish not full marine, what would be the dosis then?

One thing: The main package is huge compare to the second one which has to be dissolved in the end.

Here's the link of the product: http://www.madeinchina.com/1667835/P5498172/Sea-Salt-for-Aquarium-and-Ocean-Museums.shtml

thats odd. the 1st pack could be just aquarium salt and the second pack could contain all the trace elements to basically turn regular aquarium salt into a marine salt mix.

i use instant ocean. its easy. no fuss and dissolves really easy.

i'm guessing if you use half of each packet, you will have half strength sea water. in 210 liters that would give you an SG of about 1.011 to 1.012 depending on what the manufacurer classes marine as, norammly an SG of between 1.022-25.

thats fine for fish that prefer these levels of salt. maybe half the mix again to get an SG of 1.006 great for low end brackish fish.

i'd get a different brand next time. water changes will be a nightmare with that stuff. instant ocean and red sea are names that you hear a lot here. maybe try one of those...

good luck by the way...
